by Wail S Hassan

Undertaking a sustained interpretation of Sudanese novelist Tayeb Salih's novels and short stories, this study focuses primarily on the ways in which his work depicts the clashing of Arab ideologies - that is, questions of tradition, modernity, imperialism, gender and political authority.

He gives lovely analysis of Tayeb Salih

[Mana · Rating 4 out of 5]

A compelling analysis of Tayeb Salih's work, I recommend it as a secondary source with any of Salih's fiction. It grounds his work through historical and literary analsysis. I'm not entirely sure I buy all of his claims, but that is for each person to decide, no?
